usual tap only (i.e. no insertion and no PIN required) limit is $100, some banks may have increased that limit due to pandemic. I would place card as close to scanner as possible without touching.

States within the land mass. The country is made up of states that each have their own, individual states rights. That is fundamental to our country. Look how many states, and what percentage of the country they cover. It is almost New York and California vs the rest of the country. What they both like to call "fly-over states" make up the majority of the country.

Do you think that someone who lives on say a farm with 100+ acres of land, that their vote should count more than someone renting an apartment in the city?  

Do you think that one or two cites should control the rest of the entire country? Only NY, the New England area, and the left coast agree with you guys. You all just assume everyone agrees except a handful of crazies. Truth is that half the country's population disagrees. This time around, you lost, get over it.

You're talking about something that happened 3.5 years ago.

I‘m too polite to tell you what I think.

I probably shouldn't post this on the Navy's sub anniversary date today, but this was a pretty impressive short:

Thunderbirds did a fly over of the valley today to show support for all the medical personnel and first responders. Pretty cool gesture from the Air Force.

@Botch, I just posted the above and then looked at your link haha. Great minds again.

That "still" photo is fantastic, @Battleborn.  Unfortunate about the grounded airliners in the foreground...

I think I read that McCarren is running at ~7% of normal operating capacity.

And on second look, those particular planes look like the unofficial AF planes that take unofficial personnel to an unofficial place in the middle of the Nevada desert.

Oh hell, you're correct!!  
I didn't notice the nice, white, tails!  When I was stationed at Kirtland/Albuquerque, my office overlooked the flightline, and these same planes (they were 737's then, 3 of them (those may be, too)) would disappear Monday mornings and return Thursday or Friday afternoons (Sandia Labs and Los Alamos were local, hint).  
I've been to those central Nevada locations, although we took commercial airlines to LV and drove the rest of the way.  I miss those days...

This also brought back a fond memory.  
I and a whole bunch of junior officers at WPAFB traveled to West Virginia to raft the New River for two days.  Great fun, lousy food, and sunburns!  I was driving back to Dayton in my '86 Saab 900 Turbo, with 3 passengers, on the Interstate.  A Porsche 911 passed us, quite rapidly, that was sporting a bunch of antennas.  Someone in the car asked if I could keep up with him...  yeah, we could!
We averaged between 100-105, for I don't know how long (I had that car up to 121, in NM).  He finally signaled to take an exit; I flashed my brights at him and he gave me a thumb's-up.  I slowed down the rest of the way, needed a good hot shower when I got home. 
Fun Times!

So if half the country disagrees, what does the  other half think?

Jesus, dude.  You sound like a f-ing douche.  We live in a democracy.  Try to be more accepting of other people's opinions.

Maybe crawl back into your sea of urine soaked rubber ducks and shudder with anger alone, enraged, as the country tries to come together without your needless landmass theories.

Pretty interesting just in terms of how the subculture of people who are into these coast to coast runs are basically condemning this one.

Thanks for Cannonball links.  Being old I remember reading about the first run in 1971 with Brock Yates and Dan Gurney piloting a Ferrari.  Quite a story, especially the third-place team that picked up a "drive to deliver" Cadillac in New York and dropped it off in less than 40 hours in the LA area.

A bit like a touchdown celebration where the defense didn't take the field.

Those Big Joe pool toys seem to jump into my cart when I'm at Costco. They've taken some abuse, but seems like they are built to take it. Caliprince loves them.
